Summary

This guide is a simple how-to on giving remote access to the database root user to a specific host or all hosts. The scope covered in this article is specifically the creation of the user-host record in the mysql.user table, which governs logins to a MySQL or MariaDB instance.

Synopsis

If you have decided to set up your Software Vulnerability Manager (SVM) On-Premises servers in dual-mode configuration with one server housing Apache, PHP and the SVM configuration, and the other server hosting the SVM database, then you have to assign your database user appropriate privileges to allow it remote access to the database from the SVM server.

Procedure

Enter the MySQL database on the database server using the existing configured account (e.g. "root"):

Example

Executing the grant twice, once for host name, once for IP, will allow the application server to connect if it's being recognized by either host name or IP.

What port is MariaDB on?

If your MariaDB server is configured with the UFW firewall (which it is by default on all Webdock servers) then you will need to allow traffic on port 3306 from the remote system.

Is MariaDB a database?

MariaDB is a free, open-source and one of the most popular relational database system around the globe. It is a drop-in replacement for MySQL database system. However, the structure and indexes of both database systems are same, this will allow you to switch your database from MySQL to MariaDB without having to alter your applications.

The Error

I was attempting to import my system’s time zone information into MariaDB with the following command:

The Cause

After investigating this, I realised that the root user had yet not had its password set.

The Solution

As per the above paragraph, I needed to set the password for the root user:

To Start With: What Do You Need?

To complete this process, you will require a working installation of the CentOS 7 operating system with root privileges. It is expected that a MariaDB server is already installed and running and you have read and applied the Managing a MariaDB database process for an understanding of permissions and how to test (local) database connections.

The Process

In our example, we want to access a MariaDB database server with the IP address 192.168.1.12 from a client computer in the same network, with the IP address 192.168.1.33. Please change appropriately to fit your needs:

How Does It Work?

We started our journey by opening the standard MariaDB firewall port 3306 using the firewalld predefined MariaDB service, which is disabled by default on CentOS 7. After this, we configured which IP addresses were allowed to access our database server, which is done on a database level using the MariaDB shell.

Editing The Defaults File

  • Once you have located the defaults file, use a text editor to open the file andtry to find lines like this under the [mysqld] section: (The lines may not be in this order, and the order doesn't matter.) If you are able to locate these lines, make sure they are both commented out(prefaced with hash (#) characters), so that they look like this: (Again, the order of these lines don't matter) Alternativ…

Granting User Connections from Remote Hosts

  • Now that your MariaDB server installation is setup to accept connections fromremote hosts, we have to add a user that is allowed to connect from somethingother than 'localhost' (Users in MariaDB are defined as 'user'@'host', so'chadmaynard'@'localhost' and 'chadmaynard'@'1.1.1.1' (or'chadmaynard'@'server.domain.local') are different users that can havecompletely different pe…

Port 3306 Is configured in Firewall

  • One more point to consider whether the firwall is configured to allow incoming request from remote clients: On RHEL and CentOS 7, it may be necessary to configure the firewall to allow TCP access to MySQL from remote hosts. To do so, execute both of these commands:

Caveats

  1. If your system is running a software firewall (or behind a hardware firewall or NAT) you must allow connections destined to TCP port that MariaDB runs on (by default and almost always 3306).
  2. To undo this change and not allow remote access anymore, simply remove the skip-bind-add…
